Hi everyone. First time poster and brand new to this forum. I tried to find a form of contact for IOI support and I stumbled upon this forum.
Like many of you, I’m a big fan of the Hitman franchise. I’ve played every game in the franchise, with the exception of the one that started it all, Hitman: Silent Assassin.
I bought Hitman 3 for PS5, and I even found some copies of Hitman 1: Definitive Edition and Hitman 2, as I previously played both of these titles on PS4 and wanted to transfer whatever I could, to my Hitman 3 experience.
Unfortunately, like many of you, I am experiencing connection issues. Since launch day here in Australia (Wednesday 20 January 2021), I haven’t been able to connect to Hitman 3 on PS5 at least once. I always get the failed to fetch data message.
I have managed to at least link all my products to my IOI account and I can play most of my levels in Hitman 3, I just can’t do any of the challenges, or use any of my collected rewards/equipment from previous games, as you can’t do this in offline mode.
I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Hitman 3, I’ve tried deleting my local files (as a user on this forum suggested), I’ve tried a wi-fi connection, I’ve tried my standard Ethernet connection, but I don’t think there’s anything I can do. I checked IOI’s Twitter (I don’t have Twitter myself, but it seems to be the only place where IOI is providing updates) and they posted eight hours ago that all platforms are back online, but I still can’t connect.
I’m thinking about returning this game to the store (EB Games) as they offer a seven day return policy (or 10 day return policy, for level 4 EB card holders). Tomorrow will mark an entire week of being unable to connect online. I think that’s long enough to wait, but I do hope I might be able to connect and properly play sometime today.
Can anyone provide any advice to me on what I -might- be able to do, if anything? Has anyone on PS4 and/or PS5 been able to successfully connect and play Hitman 3 online?
Thanks everyone.
